Roblox responds to latest child safety lawsuit: ‘No system can be perfect’

Roblox logo key art

Roblox has been no stranger to controversies lately, as several lawsuits have been leveled against the game on the grounds that it does not do enough to protect children from predatory behavior. Though primarily frequented by very young kids, Roblox allegedly does not do enough to keep them from harm, or so claims the most recent of several suits filed against Roblox Corporation, this time by Los Angeles County.

On Feb. 19, Roblox Corporation was sued by LA County because "children in Los Angeles County have been repeatedly exposed to sexually explicit content, exploitation, and grooming on Roblox," as the company has "put corporate profit over the safety of children." The game enjoys a considerable audience of very young children, and it "has a responsibility to keep kids safe." However, LA County alleges that "instead it has allowed its platform to become a place where children can be exposed to grooming and exploitation."

Roblox has since responded to the lawsuit, saying that "no system is perfect" but that its "commitment to safety never ends," PC Gamer wrote. "We strongly dispute the claims in this lawsuit and will defend against it vigorously," the company added. "Roblox is built with safety at its core, and we continue to evolve and strengthen our protections every day."

"We have advanced safeguards that monitor our platform for harmful content and communications, and users cannot send or receive images via chat, avoiding one of the most prevalent opportunities for misuse seen elsewhere online," the statement continues.

"We take swift action against anyone found to violate our safety rules and work closely with law enforcement to support investigations and help hold bad actors accountable," they conclude.

This isn't the first lawsuit of this kind Roblox has found itself embroiled in. Last August, Roblox was sued by the State of Louisiana, which argued similar points as LA County. Back then, state representatives wrote that "[Roblox Corporation] has permitted and perpetuated an online environment in which child predators thrive, directly contributing to the widespread victimization of minor children in Louisiana."

Criminal subpoenas were issued to Roblox Corporation by the State of Florida last October, which labeled the game as "a breeding ground for predators."

On top of it all, Roblox Corporation chief executive David Baszucki flaunted the idea of betting in Roblox, claiming it could be implemented educationally in the game, stirring further controversy and causing people to doubt the company's commitment to protecting children.

All Knockout codes in February 2026

The menu to redeem Knockout codes in the Roblox game

After personally testing them ourselves in February 2026, the current selection of working Knockout codes in the Roblox game and their rewards are as follows:

How to redeem codes in Knockout

Unlike other Roblox games, Knockout has made it so the process to redeem each working code is pretty straightforward; once you’ve launched the game, you just need to carry out these steps: 

  1. Select the ‘settings’ button in the bottom-left corner of the screen
  2. Click into the box that says ‘Enter Code Here…
  3. Enter your code
  4. Select the ‘redeem’ button
  5. If successful, you’ll hear a small ding
  6. You’ll see a blue box pop up on the bottom-right, explaining what reward you’ve gotten
View Green Video on the source website

If the code you’ve used is incorrect, and you hear a very slight buzzing noise, that means your code wasn’t valid or has expired — the code redemption box will mention the latter, along with the ‘Redeem’ button saying ‘Invalid!’ if the latter is the case. 

It can be quite easy to incorrectly enter codes in Roblox games, so try copying and pasting each code from this guide directly — so you’ll have no chance of error, since we’ve tested each Knockout code ourselves.
